Purola MLA Durgeshwar Lal expressed gratitude to Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami for accelerating the strengthening work of State Highway 48. The MLA acknowledged the government?s efforts to improve road infrastructure in the region, which is vital for connecting remote areas and promoting local development.

The Purola MLA expressed confidence that the ongoing work on State Highway 48 will further improve the living standards of the local population, reduce travel time, and ensure safer roads.

The initiative aligns with the state's broader efforts to modernise road infrastructure and promote balanced regional development. The strengthening of State Highway 48 is seen as a crucial step in enhancing Uttarakhand's transport system and improving the quality of life for its residents.
